Well, Halloween 2015 has come and gone and while I didn't get to every movie I wanted to see (which would have been impossible anyway) I did better than most Octobers I can remember! Well over 31 movies viewed and I had a great time. Good thing that "Everyday is Halloween" here at the World of the Weird Monster Show because I'm still in that Halloween mood!

We are now almost two full weeks into October and it's been a great one so far! There's been some perfect fall weather and I think this year I'm doing better at the start than any year I can remember in awhile. I'm averaging at least one viewing a day. Hope I can keep it up!

It's that time a year again! Halloween! As I try to do every year, I go thru
all of my DVDs and VHS tapes and put
together a list of films and TV Show episodes to watch during the month of
October. I start on Oct 1 and go all the way through Halloween. Ideally, I
watch one thing a day. But that doesn't always happen. The list is made up of movies as well as TV Shows and
short films of various lengths...so on those certain days where the real world
prohibits it, I have something I can watch that won't take 2 whole hours. And
then of course, on other days, I may try to knock out a bunch of movies at
once.

There's no way to get them all...even after I pare them down, it's
still always too big of a list to watch them all in 31 days. This year's list was a bit over 40 titles. But I try my
best. Also, there are always movies not on this list that will get thrown in as
the month goes on I'm sure. There always are. Many of these were on the list last year but I never got to them since I substituted other titles.

Also, many of my favorite horror movies are never on here (Dawn of the Dead comes to mind) because for Halloween, I need a certain kind of mood. Monsters or ghost stories...autumn settings, something like that.

And I'll post more in-depth reviews of all of
the ones as I watch during the month.

So we're almost a week into Halloween and that means it's time for an update!

As I do every year, I pick about 40-50 titles or so to watch during the month of October. I know I won't get through them all (and I also know I'll end up adding more) but I try to get in as many as I can.

I'm not sure how many of you out there are aware of the awesome line of Kenner-style retro action figures FUNKO has been putting out under the "Reaction" collection. But they're awesome. They first started with a line of ALIEN action figures that were made from actual Kenner molds from 1979 for a line of figures that Kenner never released (cause you know, ALIEN for kids!) These came out a little bit ago and featured an Alien, Ripley, Dallas, Ash and Kane figure. They were awesome and my wife got me the whole line.

How cool are they?!? And now they've got a whole bunch of other figures including horror favorites like Freddy, Jason and the Universal Monsters!
